A programme of three ever-popular pieces, beginning with Mussorgsky’s chilling depiction of a pagan ceremony. On arriving in New York to teach, a homesick Dvorak was inspired to compose his invigorating and soulful New World Symphony, its slow movement now world-famous in many guises. In between these celebrated works is Max Bruch's evergreen Violin Concerto No.1 which remains one of the most-loved of violin works imbued as it is with heart, vitality, deep expression and a fund of glorious romantic melody.
